Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout will miss next month’s World Under-20 Championships after suffering a left hamstring tear in training in Brisbane.
Disappointing Setback
Gout had been selected for Australia’s 200 metres and 4x400m relay teams for the championships in Eugene, Oregon. He had opted to skip this month’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow to focus on the World Under-20 Championships, but the injury has cut short his season.
Gout expressed his disappointment, saying, “I have no other possibility but to accept the situation.” He plans to focus on his rehab in the coming weeks and months, aiming to come back stronger and faster in 2027.
Gout had previously made a name for himself by clocking a world under-20 record of 19.67 seconds in the 200m at the Australian Championships in Sydney in April.
